Tipperary will chase redemption when they meet Cork in the All-Ireland U21 hurling, a repeat of this summer’s Munster decider which the Rebels won handily.

Tipperary put in a much-improved showing here and led by 1-13 to 0-9 when Galway half-forward Brian Concannon - a member of the county senior panel - saw red for an off-the-ball incident involving Brian McGrath in first-half stoppages.

In the ensuing passage of play, Jake Morris struck a second Tipperary goal to send them back down the tunnel 10 to the good.

As well as their indiscipline, Galway were let down by nine first-half wides, seven of these arriving in the first 12 minutes.

Their challenge was reignited upon the sending off of Mark Kehoe who received a questionable straight red card for a high tackle on Galway ‘keeper Eanna Murphy. The Galway custodian was substituted as a result of the challenge.

A burst of 1-4 without reply from the Tribesmen had them back within five points, the goal coming from a long Jack Grealish delivery touched into the net by a Tipperary defender.

Three points, however, was as close as they came and Galway’s challenge ended in second-half stoppages as Cian Salmon was sent off for kicking Paddy Cadell.

Tipperary swept down the field with Ger Browne shooting a fantastic goal to seal their final berth.
